BLOU

Blou is a band from Meteghan, Nova Scotia, founded in 1994. The group claims a unique style of music they call 'Acadico' – a mix of Acadian, Cajun and Zydeco styles. The group takes its name from the street where founding member Patrice Boulianne resides: L'Allée des Blou was named after an aboriginal man purported to have lived at the end of that street 100 years earlier. The original band members were Patrice Boulianne (accordion, guitar, vocals), Paul Melanson (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Len LeBlanc (harmonica, guitar, percussion, vocals), Owen Muise (electric bass, drum, vocals), and drummer Tommy Maillet.
